About the University

Mount Royal University was founded in 1910 following a charter by the Alberta provincial government. Mount Royal became a post-secondary institution in 1931 as Mount Royal Junior College (MRC) offering transfer courses to the University of Alberta and later to the University of Calgary. In 1972 Mount Royal moved from several buildings in downtown Calgary to a new campus in Lincoln Park on land previously used as an air force base. A war memorial honour roll is dedicated to Mount Royal alumni who have volunteered for active service in the Canadian Forces.

Mount Royal University was granted university status in 2009 by the provincial government. The university currently offers 12 degrees and 32 majors with an average class size of 29 students.

In 2017, Mount Royal University was awarded the Ashoka Changemaker Campus designation joining 44 universities which are leading higher education in the area of social innovation and changemaking.

Speciality

You belong here
Here, you don’t have to wait to finish university before you put your stamp on the world. Your Mount Royal experience will be as original as you.

Innovation + a long history
Since our beginnings more than 100 years ago, we’ve been committed to quality post-secondary education. Mount Royal has transformed since then, but some things will never change. We are committed to providing future-focused programs and the highest quality education in classes led by passionate professors.

The Mount Royal student experience
You want a program that aligns your passions, opens doors and gives you a great experience. Your MRU might take you up the side of a mountain, behind a camera or to the centre of community-minded research. You’ll enhance your abilities and dive deeper into what makes our world remarkable.

From here to anywhere
No matter what you’re planning next, you can hit the ground running. Mount Royal’s four-year degree programs offer skills that prepare you for your career and academic dreams. A blend of hands-on learning and intellectually challenging curriculum gets you ready for your next step.

Some classrooms have four walls, some have none
While you’ll definitely sit in a few classrooms, some of the best hands-on learning is done in nature or in one of our state-of-the-art simulation, computer and science labs.

Virtual or physical, research brings environments to life
As an undergraduate student, you’ll participate in research early in your studies, giving you a solid foundation for higher learning. Mount Royal professors bring their journeys back to the classroom — sharing their creativity, experience and passion with you. Research will open your mind to a world awaiting exploration.

More than a library
The Riddell Library and Learning Centre has so much more than books. It is a transformational learning and research environment that brings together students, expert faculty and staff, and a wide range of technology and resources. Within these walls, you’ll be able to discover, understand, create and share.

Study + travel
Get the best of both worlds: credit for your courses and amazing journeys. This is serious business. Your trip may include community service learning, business development, environmental sustainability initiatives and more. Get your thinking cap on and your suitcase ready as you gain perspective — here or on the other side of the planet!
